Thoughworks Technology Radar July 2014

I love Thoughtworks' Technology Radar. HN is very hype-driven, you see a lot of the hottest stuff, and therefore it's my favourite source of information on technologies.

Thoughtworks, a software agency, is necessarily a little more conservative than the startup crowd. Clients expect them to deliver, and if only one project fails miserably because of a risky technology choice, then that will really hurt their image, and thus their sales pipeline.

As a result, their Technology Radar isn't so much an overview of what is hot or not, but more of which of last year's hot stuff really made it. If it's well positioned on Thoughtworks' Tech Radar, then you can be pretty sure that it's here to stay.
